  • Publication number: 20130141139
    Abstract: Electronic interface and method for reading a capacitive sensor that includes one input capacitor (30) or several input capacitors, in which the capacitive sensor is excited with a two-level voltage (Vlow, Vhigh) and read by a charge-sense amplifier whose output is sampled in four successive instants. An evaluation unit (333) is arranged to compute two difference values (V12, V34) between two pairs of samples corresponding to different voltage levels and to combine said difference values into an output value (V_out_raw) proportional to the charge transferred to the input of the charge-sense amplifier and an error value (error_bit) sensitive to a time derivative of a noise current din/dt.
